Will it be enough?? 2024 Greater Midwest Livestock Auctioneering Championship Finals

[@sparkyofsocal]

At the end of the day, your son witnessed you get up there and give it your best. That win is bigger and more important than any competition that day.

[@itsbob2609]

Well- I bet if you take a vote on your channel, there would be a different winner! Way to go Jax……

[@dougmckay94]

You are one of the most interesting, talented and authentic people I have ever encountered. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@Lstn2urmama]

From what had seen ..you are the most active auctioneer had seen in this place...

[@gaelenecole4053]

Your hands down our winner Jax’s 🏆 ❤❤❤🙌😁❤️👍🔥 Weed man weed did a absolutely fantastic job videoing 😊😇 I hear you about the appearance thing etc 🤨 but it’s what it is ☹️ Loved it …Thanks for taking us all along❤

[@joetrimble9513]

You did great to me you control the whole bidding! The gentleman beside doesn’t have to work as hard watching the bidders! You Rock Jax!

[@kalebbuck9936]

The ZZ Top of auctioneers is the clear winner in my humble opinion. Tons of fun to watch this. Keep up the smooth fast talking.

[@kevinkirk3918]

Jax your the few that I could understand!!!!!

[@chrisnoeldner1014]

You did amazing! The last time I saw an auctioneer cry like that, with passion, gravel on a bid and excitement was the day my mom and dad sold their cows for retirement. It brought me to tears! My wife was watching with me and thought I was crazy to get emotional over an auctioneer chant!! You could tell the the passion by the “ring man” to your right, you were in perfect unison spotting the bids in the crowd. Great job! Thanks for the trip down memory lane from 20+ years ago and many years before listening to an auctioneer cry all afternoon in sale barns around South Dakota. I got to witness greatness the day my folk retired….after their cattle sold, the sale barn emptied like the sale was over. It was early in the day, but they did their job and promoted our families cattle.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Freddie for the win! 😁👍 If you lost a few points on your appearance, imagine how the judges minds would be blown if you wore your man bun! 😂 Sorry you didn't get in the top 3 dude, but you and Freddie had a good couple of days away together 😊👍

[@northcountry9240]

hats off to you sir. I know one thing you had me raising my hand placing Bids up here in northern Michigan. good times 🇺🇲

[@philipfleming3546]

Jackson, you showed you where great, it's a shame that judges are like that, but it happens in everything that goes on today. Watching the video twice, l saw you get people to raise prices faster than others an get some of the highest sell prices. We're around of you for jumping in an doing this competition an so is your family. Remember God,Family Friends others can get on the end of the Struggle Bus. God Bless We need some Rooster video and your brother.

[@Harstad217]

Great job! The one group of calves you sold was my neighbor’s I hauled down there

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Thank you for sharing you are number one in my book! You bring back a lot of memories, my dad was an auctioneer back in the day! You are an AWESOME auctioneer! God Bless y'all!

[@chriscook8076]

Nice job and way to go for giving it a shot! Weed Man is probably proud as punch for his Dad for trying.

[@johnbeck845]

Way to give it hell!! Well done 💪🇺🇸

[@37903eral]

Never ever judge a person on looks alone or I should say never ever judge a book by its cover. I have always said that a person must float their own boat. Well done, sir. There is nothing better than a father, son road trip.

[@89faul]

Jax, this was awesome. Great job.

[@brddukaty7460]

You are the GREATEST human 👏👏👏👍🇺🇸🇸🇰

[@geraldbuchanan5094]

You just need to keep doing your own thing. Be proud of yourself and what you do. If I had an auction barn I’d hire you in a heartbeat 🎉. Keep up the great work and entertaining videos!

[@chuckparson6712]

Beauty is skin deep, but you Sir are as genuine as they come. I've been to a fare share of auctions and they'd be lucky to have you behind the mic 👍👍

[@kennielsen8369]

From a very balding guy who could never grow a beard… little jealous of you Jax…. You do you! That’s what counts! Been to many auctions in my life. Loved listening to you. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndreZA979]

That was a great performance either way. Well done Jax

[@frankgeimer5952]

I enjoyed the auctioning, reminded me of when I went with my Mom as a child.. She sure was into an auction, any auction and I came to like all the banter too. Thanks for sharing with us and always be yourself because you are the best of you!

[@Cwnazelrod]

Awesome video. Glad you gave the closing thoughts truly the best part of the video.

[@d-von1264]

That was awsome you did a great job it's impressive 👏

[@russellflannery6913]

Keep growing that mighty beard my friend. And remember two of ur calls got higher bids than the rest.

[@Bobs-bd3yo]

Be yourself brither! Let the channel know your next competition. Fellow Montanan!

[@kenmurray4232]

Appearance shouldn't matter but reality said it does. That kinda sucks. I think you did a great job, crisp & clear with full attention to the buyers. What do I know. I just a dumb truck driver. Reminds me of an old joke, 2 weeks ago I couldn't spell truk dryver now I are one. You had fun & spent some good time with Freddo, that's all that matters in the long run

[@FL.AirBoater]

Jackson, God doesn’t judge a person by the way they look, I could never be able to grow a beard like yours, Wish I could sometimes, Your a good man and a Hellava man Enjoy your videos from Central Fl.!!!😊

[@garymessina1609]

Jax no matter what your still the best you kick A's great video anytime in your travels you get up to New England give me a yell

[@zekeabercrombie3583]

Nice job. It was really nice to see that part of life I'm totally unfamiliar with. Oddly, after watching your videos for a while, you are probably more successful in life than most of those other gentlemen.

[@jeremybresley]

Jax, never change who you are for a job. If they have a problem with your decision to grow your hair and beard, it's THEIR problem not yours. I work in tech sales with long hair in a ponytail and a much grayer beard. The customers don't care as long as I know my stuff. Maybe some of the other industries need to catch up that societal norms for appearance are changing with the times.

[@rmsatt1608]

Great Job. 🎉 And the sign said Long Haired Freaky People need not apply. BS you did a great job.

[@realwildwildwest]

🤣

[@ScottArmas107]

Nice job sir, great set of videos.

[@kdbritt48]

Heck of a job actionering. Enjoyed it.

[@brettmorton7365]

You're easily top 3 mate, you got the rhythm and flow and a natural charisma that puts you right on top... but don't get rid of the beard/hair.. it's who you are and shouldn't be changed for anyone

[@lynnegannis9224]

I think you did great and Freddy there was great 😊😊😊😊😊

[@jangrahame4891]

For someone coming in cold after 7 years off the circuit, You sure did come through clearly, and generated excitement for the bid up. I thought you did really well to hit the top ten. It looked to me that two of the top three, already had the lock in, right from the get-go with those judges.

[@Demon_Outlaw]

So humble and outlook . At least you accomplished what you Already knew and thanks Freddie for filming it was learning experience I was listening and watching TV monitors 🎉

[@ericlandis447]

This two part video was awesome to watch. Love watching the videos and keep up the great content!!

[@bd6466]

Congrats Jax. Love the beard and hair, you rock it well. You're also one of the better looking sasquatch auctioneers I've seen in a while. 😂 Love your channel. ❤ 🤠👍

[@michaelgreen4838]

You are Right about the hair! They can't handle it!

[@davidburchfield2720]

Yes and that's BS

[@howardhendrickson2933]

You were one of the clearest and easiest to understand, in my books that's more important than being clean cut and shaved

[@timothymilam732]

Jax in my opinion you out shined all them boys hands down without a doubt im my mind. Youngsters got to witness something special that he'll remember for a lifetime, and that's tops in any manner you look at it. I say every chance you get. If I was you I'd be there. Because you definitely have what everyone enjoys hearing, and beards long hair doesn't matter I was a supervisor for large mechanical contractors all my life, and I had ponytail longer than you have, and although I had a beard or some sort the whole time. I dealt with owners of corporations judges in two different counties, because when you work on court houses in Texas they are the ones who approve change orders, and they come to the meetings by the handful. Ive dealt with the head DA"s, and usually whoever thier head investigators are, because they are the ones that authorized the security badges. Plus homeland security was always jacking with me trying to tell me i wasn't authorized to be where we were working, because I figured out they didn't have badges for access to everything I had. So I would call the Lt commander of TDOT aa he wss lead investigation officer for Collin County DA's office, and he'd raise heck with head of homeland security. So don't accept that horse manure about long hair and beards holding you back And yes at 68 I've still got long ponytail and long gray beard, and yes I raise cattle as well as go couple times month to different sale barns and none of the ole rednecks have ever messed with me seriously about my hair because loje like yourself I dress as they do, with the exception of i occasionally wear a high dollar pair of hiking boots because they are comfortable.

[@dereksiedentopf7543]

Good job, Freddy. Great camera control mister. Jax you did a great job, you’ve been around this long enough, you know as well as we do, you were top three. You have charisma from hell, you are engaging with the people and you are a showman to boot. At least you and Weedman got good quality time together, he will remember this stuff forever. Keep up the channel, we love your videos. It’s really cool how your whole family is into it, it shows there are still good moral valued families out there. Have a great day.

[@cynthialeonard8424]

I absolutely love your appearance don’t you dare change a thing for that competition. I also had no idea you could do that. YOU BLEW ME AWAY! Great job and I could understand everything you said. Where as some of them others it was just gibberish. Take Care be Safe

[@sandkworkshop]

I loved your chant. Your calling bids was pro level and is pro level. Yes appearance would have an effect. I know as well. But I loved what you did. As an auctioneer myself, you are good.

[@bsmith6941]

Great Job Jax. Although I am sure most of us would agree that "personal Appearance" should have nothing to do with your score, there is that stigma that not clean shaven people with long hair should not be held equal to others in competitions, which is wrong. However, we think you did great and you should be proud of how well you came across and the position you placed. Nice work sir!

[@bluestraveler412]

I Noticed a couple things.. You're easier to understand, create excitement and get a lot more money for the cattle than the other guys

[@engine890]

Congrats to "Weeds" on filming a great day...!!😀

[@loquatdumpling]

Dang pretty versatile guys u r🤙🤣🤙🤙🤙

[@nada7.077]

Your attitude is phenomenal Jax, and what wonderful lessons your are teaching your son. It’s sad that you are judged negatively just because you have long hair and a beautiful long beard when you are neat and clean, and have such a wonderful, outgoing personality, and can absolutely blow their narrow-minded socks off auctioneering!! ❤️🙏

[@1965lostboy]

well all i can say is never judge a book by its cover............ great pair ov videos loved watching them and yes id of placed you in the spot you deserve , you show all sides of your life high low and man your positivity and determion shoa thru every time; Keep the videos comeing a be safe on that black top roads

[@lillesand7246]

Cuzn, you were awesome! You would get extra appearance points in my book, for originality and authenticity. Long ago when I was a wee lass I sat up in the auction booth with Uncle Wain. Some of the first words I learned were choice 😂. Anyhow we love your channel...so proud of you and your wonderful family ❤

[@realwildwildwest]

All the love :) ❤️

[@bamboozler8459]

Fantastic sir!

[@Stantonjonathon0916]

Congrats on top ten looking forward for you bringing home the trophy 1 day you absolutely have the skills 👏

[@sailingwind326]

Thank you Fred good job 👏 👍 hey Jackson I thought you were extremely good 👍 👏 thanks for sharing 💪💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 merica yeah come on

[@SueAnders-bt5lv]

I've been watching you for a long time good job

[@Dennismelnychuk]

You did a dam fine job at selling them feeders. Making the top ten and more than likely 4th and the only reason for that is you don't have an Auction mart or auction company pulling for you. If you were selling for a big barn for 3 months prior you would've been in the top 2. Awesome job for being away from it for a number of years. Fill us in with how many job offers come in the next couple months.

[@joeysharp7786]

Great job Jaxon.but I think those spotters were working harder for the other contestants. The Guy on your right was to busy eating and there no one on your left .awesome job Bud

[@Todd_Again]

You did AWESOME bro !!!!!!!

Heck yeah. More Coronado!!!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Wow!!!! You are awesome!!!!!

[@ruston723]

you sounded the best to me great job

[@MRALL4FUN]

WOW!! That’s AN AWESOME JOB!!

[@travisstoneking4049]

If you ever decide to give up driving you could have a back up plan being a auctioneer once you sold your first set of feeders you settled right in.

[@leomcavoy5770]

🏴‍☠ You looked sharp today Hoss🚜👍🤙✌🐄🦬🏁

Jackson, You look like a slender mountain man,,,,, Enjoy all your videos from rual central Fl.!!!

There's husband wife music group that goes by "Truck Stop Honeymoon" they have tune called "The Perfect Pair of Sunglasses" I think of y'all Everytime I hear it! Peace out! If I had a sale barn I'd hire you immediately!

[@josephvantreeck2989]

SOLD!! Hey Jax!

[@josephboley]

You still won .. because you got to spend some time with Freddie. Thats worth more then any trophy .

[@alyr7443]

You did fantastic, Jax!! The haircut comment when you were called 😒 He's just jealous of the mane and beard. I bet half of them don't even have hair. 😂 It was a great experience for your son and you. He got to witness you there putting yourself out there. I know he has to be proud of his dad too!

[@realwildwildwest]

Thanks!

[@ronniedavis3273]

Great job! I thought you did really good!

[@danimal0921]

Well Jax, I'll tell you what, my hat is off to you, my friend! You may not be "put off" about getting knocked due to your "appearance," but it pisses me off to no end! I am a 62 year old, fat bellied, gray bearded, crippled up man and for SEVERAL YEARS now I have been the target of literally thousands of POS haters pointing their fingers at me saying, "If you'd just change this or that..." SCREW 'EM ALL! If you are happy with you, and Freddie is happy with you, and Mama and the rest of the clan are happy with you... Screw the rest of 'em! You are one TRULY BLESSED MAN!!!!! And for what it's worth, I've been to countless auctions in my life. My Dad loved auctions and started taking me to them when I was about 6 or so. He passed in March '09, and the last one we went to was in November '08. I have a fairly good ear for quality and/or the lack thereof, and you were much easier to listen to AND understand than at least 2 out of the top 3! Please do the world a favor and NEVER STOP TRYING!!!

[@SuperCody1124]

Well I thought you kicked ass and were clear in your auctioning.

[@bobme2787]

You did a great job. I think that the guy who auctioned last at the end of video was great also. As you said your grizzly Adam's appearance may effect you in the competition but many of the judges are old school and traditional. Atleast you don't have facial tattoos and piercings

[@wylecuplin3044]

Great video. 👍👍

Disappointing but reality also includes full time vs competitive participation. What matters is content over form.

Your "helper" to the left assisted a lot more on your runs making it look less polished than other contestants. Having watched live, Fred did a lot better than their video!

[@realwildwildwest]

That is one of my complaints about this particular competition, I wish they would sit back and give you a second to catch more bids on your own. They are so concerned you will miss one of their customers, that they jump all over everything it is quite distracting at times.
